Nigerian author Chinua Achebe (1930–2013) was a major writer of post-colonial literature in the 20th century. He is best known for his debut novel, Things Fall Apart, which has been used in school curricula.^[1] Achebe has been regarded as the "father of modern African literature", especially and firstly by South African writer Nadine Gordimer.^[2][3][4]

Achebe wrote five novels, four children's books, two short story collections and two poetry books, four essay collections, a political treatise, and a memoir.^[5] American literary critic Elaine Showalter considers Things Fall Apart and Anthills of the Savannah as Achebe's best books.^[6]
